in the polling, they assumed a smaller turnout by democrats than they got, but what they were really guilty of was phenomenal cautiousness, over caution. they felt they could win simply on the economy. that if the economy was bad, they would win by default. as a result, they allowed the democrats to define their guy as a clueless, out of touch rich guy and did nothing to rebut that, even though i think mitt romney is a much better person than they allowed him to appear to the american public. they were so cautious, so careful. they were afraid of more monism. they blew it. >> alright, take a look at this, please. -- they were afraid of mormonism. >> the boardwalk, the sons of my childhood no longer exist. >> after hurricane city ravaged the nation, the nation's top chris christie, a romney supporter, buddying up to president obama. >> when you know you have a responsibility to those folks, you could give a damn about the politics. i could care less about politics. >> what is chris christie's future? >> re-election looks quite probable, to the point where the mayor of newark, seen as

mitt romney is facing the cruel convergence of the calendar and some tough polling. we're after labor day and the polls show president obama got a bounce from the democratic convention so a lot of conservatives are starting to get nervous. when that happens, they start to take out the weapons. and they start shooting. they don't know exactly where they're shooting, but they're firing the gun, and, you know, they blame the candidate, they blame the campaign, they blame the message, the strategy, what have you. they're not exactly sure what's going on, but they're angry, and they're sort of lashing out. look, i don't think it's totally fair or appropriate right now for the conservatives to get overly anxious. there's a lot of campaign to go here. romney is still very much in the contest. he's not where they'd like to be ideally but running against an incumbent president he's still very much just after labor day in the game. >> well, nia, let me ask you about this whole problem. everybody knew that mitt romney, whatever you think of his brain power, which is pretty dece

[laughter] all both the romney campaign could use some of that. some polls are distorted because of the sample. so many are based on a sample of voters that is even more than 2008. i think mitt romney is a little bit behind but he needs a and intervening event to move ahead and the debate this a good time to achieve one. >> that is when you will start seeing things moved after that bourse debate mitt romney will talk about factual information with the media does not want a

look inside these polls, mitt romney is fundamentally not credible on these issues with a large chunk of voters in ohio, virginia, and places there's been conversation already about who mitt romney is where he wants to take this country. >> howard, that does beg the fundamental question as, you know, have -- has the work of the obama campaign been effective, the impression about mitt romney being a plutocrat or not caring about the country been cemented enough that the debate performance on wednesday has no measurable effect and the economic numbers don't make a difference eater? >> this was mr. romney's long awaited etch a sketch moment at the debate. they decided he was going to pivot from this severe conservative he had been running as during the primary into a more moderate version of his former self and it's clearly incumbent on the obama campaign to keep him in the box they've placed him in, he's too conservative, extreme, out of touch with the american people. i think clearly president obama missed the opportunity to do that during the debate. he kind of let mr. romney climb ou

slew of national polls show how damaging romney's remark on the 47% has been to his campaign. the most recent national polls trails the president by 5 to 8 points. instead of punching a national message, romney seems to be making the parochial argument. yesterday in virginia, warned an american legion audience that devastating job losses were coming if congress and the president go through with the defense cuts called sequestration. >> the impact will be immediate and significant here in virginia. 136,000 jobs will be lost in virginia as a result of this move. >> and though romney wanted to focus on defense cuts, he couldn't avoid questions on the 47% comment. he was forced to defend himself in a series of local television interviews. >> is there a clarification you would offer to voters about what you meant? >> my campaign is about 100% of americans. my whole effort in running for president is to help those people that are struggling the most. this campaign and frankly my presidency if i become president is about helping people in the middle class have a better chance of maki
